I won't speak on Conine or Millar (stopgaps), but Benson is 8-5 (should be 9-5 after last night
) with a 4.06 ERA.
That would be better then Beckett and third-best on the Boston staff, better then Wang and Johnson and SECOND-best on the Yankee staff, as well as the Blue Jays staff.
And he's signed through next year with the best pitching coach in baseball history helping him.
And it cost a reliever who has already been traded again and a mid-level starting prospect.
Yeah, what the hell were the Orioles thinking
Plus, I heard that the Ortiz rumors hve little to them, so no real worries there.
